Temptations - Just my Imagination

Remember my club? The one with Gloria Gaynor and Earth, Wind & Fire? Well, to top it all, listen to the Temptations.

This is the best smoochie song ever. And I will share a secret with you (just because I had one champagne too many tonight): this song was my first love's and mine song. There you are, now you know.

Just my imagination, running away with me ... but in reality, she doesn't even know me ...

For the German audience: sorry my dears, no translation tonight. You will have to work this out.

Each day through my window
I watch her as she passes by.
I say to myself, "You're such a lucky guy."
To have a girl like her is truly a dream come true.
Out of all of the fellas in the world she belongs to you...
But it was just my imagination running away with me.
It was just my imagination running away with me...
Ooh-hoo-hoo-hooh
Soon we'll be married.. and raise a family.
In a cozy, little home out in the country
with two children, maybe three.
I tell you, I can visualize it all.
This couldn't be a dream for too real it all seems.
But it was just my imagination -- once again --running away with me.
I tell you it was just my imagination
running away with me...
Every night, on my knees I pray,"Dear Lord, hear my plea...
don't ever let another take her love from me or I will surely die.."
Ooh, her love is heavenly;
when her arms enfold me,I hear a tender rhapsody...
but in reality, she doesn't even know me
Just my imagination -- once again --running away with me.
Tell you it was just my imagination
running away with me.
I never met her, but I can't forget her.
Just my imagination..-- ooh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah --
running away with me.
